If you’re feeling nostalgic for campy horror, this novel is a great pick. It follows two adult siblings with a strained relationship as they cope with the sudden death of their parents and decide to sell the family home. Unfortunately, the house is haunted.

Cue generational trauma manifesting as haunted puppets and dolls. While I found the book more silly than scary, it still managed to inspire some pretty weird and creepy dreams.
